Shaved it up about 1mm, as far as being retarded NO! Stick to what you know best and I'll do what I know best. I work on tracker trailers did it before on trucks never had a problem. So dont WORRY about it! Its SAFE.
Before you comment about the trucks, no not ONE has laid on its side because of any work I did on them.

Still don't like the wheels but now I'm more educated on the fitment of 22's. I knew the guys at Butler Tire in Altanta do them a lot over there but I never got too deep into how exactly. Now I know.

Well thanks for the clarification Knowledge even..There is more than 1mm of thread on that bolt past the nut ( 3 or 4mm of thread actually ) so if all you needed was 1mm to make it work, that's actually a good peice of information.

A bit big but I understand if you're trying to sell it. They would look good if they were 20s I think. Don't mind some of these guys they're just gettin old. Haha. 
J/K just let it roll off your back.

They make the car look cheap, and Asian somehow. BTW - if you are asking for input, don't shoot the messenger ... YOU ASKED ... THEY REPLIED!
As for shaving ... if you don't work on MB's, I'd hate to see you shave that bolt. Imagine what a dealer would say if you brought the car in for service. They'd probably decline to work on the vehicle if you brought it in for suspension work. Heck, if you ever sell the car, someone is going to be surprised. TRACKERS aren't MB's!

Unbelieveable - the great Karnak knows all. You're truly amazing. If you know everything, why bother to ask people for their input. Oh yes, when they give you input, you suggest they did not read what they said. Makes sense to ... uh ... nobody. Excelent way to prove a point. Just exactly what the point is, is unknown.FWIW - OFF TOPIC is a graphic that is available on the forum, to *politely remind* people when they are no longer on the same topic of the original thread ... being an query as to styling of wheels. Then again, you probably already knew that. GOOD GRIEF Charlie Brown!
